E-TEN glofiish X500 reviewed

With the recent bombardment of Windows Mobile devices being released, it's kind of hard for anything to really catch our attention -- until now. E-TEN's latest offering, the glofiish X500, brings to the table what is being called the "World's thinnest Pocket PC Phone that combines GPS and WiFi in one device." This handset comes feature-packed with a quad-band GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 radio supporting EDGE data, a 400MHz Samsung S3C2440 processor, 128MB ROM and 64MB of RAM, a 2.8" QVGA touchscreen display, 802.11b/g WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0, and a 2 megapixel camera with flash. It seems like E-TEN still had some extra room left, though, seeing how they also decided to throw in SiRFStar III GPS for when we get lost, microSD slot for saving all of our music and pictures, and even found some space for an FM tuner. Of course, with new Pocket PC devices being released almost weekly, we wonder just how long this phone will reign supreme.
